Hello Richard, I just went through something similar with upgrading from 3.23.49 to 4.03. The reason you can't connect to MySQL is >020908 15:53:33 mysqld ended This should obviously not be here. Check the error logs to see if they say anything important and/or helpful there. Most likely found under /usr/local/mysql-3.23.49a-pc-linux-gnu-i686/data in your case. Also, have you re-linked the usr/local/mysql link with the new folder? And check to make sure that the data folder is owned by MySQL and that its group is also MySQL with the correct permissions. I also found that once I installed the new MySQL, and got it working, I had to go back and recompile Apache with all the packages you need (of course making sure to add MySQL support) for it to work correctly. I don't know if this is necessary but it's how I resolved the problem. Hope this helps.
